You know what's awesome? The sheer collectibility of SWCCG and decipher SW.
More than just the rarities for each set (good data to generally have), what I would really appreciate is info on misc. thinggummies put out by Decipher. I remember there was this *huge* eBay lot a month or two ago, where he had like presskits and keychains and whatnots. Now *that* was a treasure trove of information. I had the eBay page saved somewhere on some computer...
Anyways, so things I'd love to read about would be press kits (there were a *lot* for Jedi Knight CCG), keychains, oversized stickers (leia, fett), promotional cards (like the endor jawa undersized card), and tournament specific cards like the Luke-Obiwan-Yoda tournament prize cards for Young Jedi, tournament foils. There was even some card suitcase with "their light has gone out of this universe" objective printed on both sides of the suitcase.
Things people don't know about would be cards with spaces for signatures. Also, Decipher rulesheet files. There was a PC demo of the card game when Jabbas Palace came out, for instance. Saved webpages of old expansion sites. Old expansions plans like "Skywalkers" gameplay mechanic for *even more* character specific powers.
OLD, old gameplay faqs, rule clarifications, and glossaries. A lot of these are still available on groups.google if you search for "Danswerman".
Even just general listings of things, like rulesheets and different versions of the Premiere rules pamphlet (I believe there were three total).
Stuff like that. After all, all the cards are already posted on Decipher's website, and data on precise rarities would be....merely the beginning, the absolute thing top crust, of a SWCCG / Decipher SW collector.
If you want, just post, reminisce, and ask. I have links to a few of these things.

The mechanics were code named 'Liechtenstein', right?

That's right, it was! At the time Lucasarts were pressing on Decipher to make Episode I a non-compatible game, so decipher had to extend the life of SWCCG somehow.
Reminiscing--when the Tatooine expansion came out, it was possible to buy 1 box and have the entire set of Tatooine cards. The EpI-only environment seemed like a minigame, but fun was fun.
Even now it's fun to pull up old card images and think back to how long ago it was and what we were all doing at the time. For maximum nostalgia, a Premiere rulebook does the trick, as does trying to play the game with 30 cards each side (premiere starter, again).
(Son of Skywalker--right before a high school ROCP C++ class. Probably my 1st booster pack.)

I pulled a Vader out of the first SWCCG pack I ever bought.
*sigh*
Those were the days.

You know, I vaguely remember that card! I also remember a promo that was like "Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, etc. on the Millennium Falcon."

What's funny is that all of the other Premiere main characters I ever pulled were out of starter decks. 
I didn't start pulling mains again out of boosters until Cloud City (if you don't count the two boxes of A New Hope that my friend and I bought and completed two sets of).

The first 4 packs I ever bought were 4 packs of new hope, oulled r2d2 and Chewbacca from that, was awesome.
My friends hated me for that something ridiculous.
I still have my rather large collection, i'm about 3-6 cards short of every set from new hope to DS2, i just never get around to getting them completed

We somehow managed to make up rules for multi-player versions of SWCCG (like, two dark side players and two light side players), it was fun...
I pulled Darth Vader out of one of my first packs, and Luke out of another early one... It was all exciting and new and the coolest was that it was all about STAR WARS!
